Arterberry Maresh
About Arterberry Maresh
The Maresh family has had a long and memorable presence in the Dundee Hills district of the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Fred Arterberry was one of the early pioneer winemakers in the 1970s and produced many highly acclaimed wines from the Maresh Vineyard. Fred’s winery closed upon his death in 1990, but in 2005 his son Jimmy founded his winery, Arterberry Maresh, and in the process became the first in Oregon to represent a-third generation in Oregon’s wine industry.
Jimmy is one of the luckier inhabitants of the hallowed Red Hills of Dundee because his grandfather, Jim Senior, had the foresight to plant heritage clones of Pinot Noir – essentially old cuttings smuggled back from Burgundy. His style as a winemaker will please those looking for top-class cool-climate wines that rival the best from Burgundy.

Wine Advocate (94)The 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is ethereal and perfumed this vintage. It offers pure scents of raspberry preserves, bergamot, tangerine and Angostura with wafts of sweet balsamic. The palate is soft, bright and super silky, with layer after layer of sweet fruit, spice and citrus, and it finishes long and perfumed. |

Wine Advocate (95)After the warm, sunny 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages, 2017 began with a cold spring that led to a later harvest in October, which was cool, cloudy and somewhat rainy. "It’s one of those vintages that’s hard to define," Jim Maresh explains. “It’s really red fruited, really delicate. I don’t necessarily think it’s the one you age for a long time. It was so gorgeous on release." The 2017 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard has a pale ruby color and is bursting with layered scents of raspberry, pomegranate, dried flowers, salami, aniseed and forest floor. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, floral fruit structured by finely chalky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, perfumed finish. After a couple of hours in the glass, it gains purity and expression, suggesting it will continue to evolve positively in the cellar over the next decade or more. |

Wine Advocate (95+)2018 was another warm vintage in the Willamette Valley and produced a bigger crop—around 2,200 cases of the Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir were made. "I crafted something with quite a bit of elegance out of a warm year," Jim Maresh says with pride. "It’s what I should have done in 2014." The 2018 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard has a medium ruby color and is bursting with layers of raspberry, cranberry, pipe tobacco, dried sage and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is silky and supple with concentrated (though still youthfully coiled) flavors and a long, powerful finish. After a couple of hours in the glass, it begins to reveal a deeper, more nuanced perfume, suggesting the 2018 will be best enjoyed after sufficient time in the cellar. |
